Character Background and Description
Chetan Bahe was born and raised in Half Moon Bay. He grew up in a house shared with his parents and now-deceased grandparents. He is native american, and tries to stay in touch with his heritage to honor his grandparents. Chetan was average in elementary and middle school, though he did exceptionally well in his writing classes. However, Chetan really struggled in high school, and was often unable to get help due to the poor state of the Half Moon Bay schooling system. Fortunately, he was able to find work soon after graduating.

Chetan Bahe works at the docks for one of the shipping companies in Half Moon Bay. His work involves a lot of physical labor, which keeps him in pretty good shape. The work is hard and often leaves him exhausted at the end of the day. Chetan often feels trapped in his job. After working on the docks for five years he wants to try something different, but he needs the money to support his parents, who now live with him. Chetan's mother used to be an artist in Half Moon Bay, and she carved a runic necklace for him that was intended to bring him luck, but Chetan has yet to notice anything particularly lucky happening in his life.

While working on the docks, Chetan sees sailors passing through the port, coming from distant places. Having never left California, Chetan likes to talk to them and ask questions about where they come from, and where they've been in their time at sea.
